(12,153 posts)Mr. froggy and I don't eat animals, but for several years we breathed in cow poop fumes, so I know what you're talking about. We lived in Torrington WY and never once opened our windows. Thats because the cattle sale barn was smack dab in the middle of town (the sale barn was there first, and the town grew around it) and there was no fresh air to breathe. Whenever we went to Cheyenne (about 85 miles south), on our way back we could see the huge cloud of green haze hanging over Torrington from many miles away. We never had to fertilize our lawn, so there was that, but between the eye- & nose- & throat-burning cow poop/urine smell and the caustic smell of the sugar beet factory, the town had nothing good going for it as far as we were concerned. We moved to Nebraska 10 years ago and have never regretted it.
